Cripps is going to be one of those opposition players I will enjoy watching play against any team but Melbourne.

And he played well against us in that un-loseable game last year.

Frightening to think of Cripps and Hogan together in one of the WA teams (and I bet they're plotting, the bastards).

    The way the guy stands up in tackles and offloads the ball is amazing. Gonna be an absolute beast in a couple of years.

    Redminded me a bit of Koutafidies.

    This site is quite useful. He's listed at $51...not sure I'd be taking a punt on him this year, but I'm sure he'll win one if Carlton can start climbing the ladder.

    Let's hope that never happens :lol:

    If you re-did 2013 draft I'd have Cripps (13) at 1, Bontempelli (4) at 2 and Salem (9) at 3.

    bontempelli (4), cripps (13), kade kolodjashnij (5), zach merrett (26), then salem (9) for mine.

    Different players to me.

    Cripps is a beauty but lacks leg speed, Oliver is quick off the mark and will hit the scoreboard more.

    It's a bit of a myth that Cripps is slow.  Anyone remember how quick he looked last year out of the centre square when he monstered Melbourne ?  I've watched him a lot since then and he's not slow.  Even on Thursday night he didn't look slow when he ran into goal.

    So I thought I'd dig back to when he was drafted and I found an interesting comment:

    "Cripps also has some toe that serves him well when shifted to a wing or across half back."

    Amazing player. Won't win the Bronwlow this year but you'd be a brave man to bet against him winning at least one in his career.

    Hopefully he stays in Vic. The WA clubs would be salivating at the thought of Cripps and Hogan in the same side.

     

    Please PM, don't go there...

    One of my biggest fears.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
